This is a funny, sometimes touching and very kind story about ordinary teenagers who, by the will of fate, ended up in an unusual situation. Now they have to find out what real friendship, love is and how hard the path to success can be. But all the most cherished desires are always destined to be fulfilled. James Maslow plays the role of a slightly narcissistic vocalist of the group, but over time, his seemingly unambiguous character reveals new facets to the viewer.
